Fashion People Agree: This Is the It Jacket That Will Look Good All Year Round
Already own a suede jacket? Dig it out. Still yet to get one? Then this is your chance. See the four key styles we're backing this season here.
Fashion lovers can be divided into two camps: summer philes who love to be bare-legged (and cling to their broderie anglaise frocks until plummeting temperatures threaten pneumonia), and the cold-weather crew who plod through the balmy months by diving head first into a pile of chunky knitwear.
I am, and have always been, in the first camp, but there's one thing that makes packing my sandals away more bearable—my love of jackets. And it's become quite clear over the last couple of years that there's one style in particular that's dominating all our wardrobes: the suede jacket.
Available in a range of different styles and colourways, this jacket trend continues the throwback vibes that have dominated the last few seasons. After all, the suede jacket has had a unique manifestation every decade—from the patchwork styles of the '70s to the stripped-back button-downs of the '90s—and unlike other fabrics, it has the benefit of improving with age. Plus, it's the sort of style that genuinely works year-round. Scroll to see and shop my full edit of the best suede jackets to buy now.
